Moments of joy are common whenever hospital facility dogs show up to spend time with patients. These furry caregivers aren’t the typical therapy dogs volunteers bring to hospitals.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The first time 5-year-old Calvin Owens went outside in more than a month, he met up with his canine friend Hadley on a hospital patio. Despite being tethered to equipment with wires and tubes, the little boy managed to stand up near his wheelchair long enough to toss her a ball.

He smiled as she ran to fetch it. Caregivers cheered.

“Look how good you’re doing!” said Hadley’s handler, Schellie Scott.

      My favorite thing on the Internet is posting something fun, light, and positive and then having negative people comment on it.

      Thank you so much for sharing.
